Ok, this is not supremely vue related, although it is related to the use of my system with vue, among other things and is driving me nuts. I have a Gateway 831GM. 3Ghz, Pentium 4, 3GB RAM, 600GB HDD Radeon X850XT Graphics Adaptor Two DVD drives. Sound card...nondescript default! I want to upgrade the sound card so that it can handle music creation, synthesis and playback well. Unfortunately, the video card and fan seem to take up so much space that the remaining free slot inside the tower cannot be accessed. It's a good video card, so I don't really want to change it. Can anyone think of / does anyone know a workaround for this, without having to cannibalise my system within an inch of its life, or get a second computer simply for the music side of things (since I might want to integrate music with vue animation anyway, I am not sure that two computers is that wonderful of an idea, apart from the expense).
